This week, the Taliban reportedly flogged at least 12 people in an Afghan football stadium for committing "moral crimes." In front of hundreds of spectators inside the stadium in Afghanistan's Logar, three women who were civilians were publicly flogged, according to Independent.

They were found guilty of crimes punishable under Sharia law, including adultery, robbery, and homosexual sex. After receiving their punishment, the three women were released and permitted to return home, according to Taliban spokesperson Omar Mansoor Mujahid, who spoke to the BBC.
